Re: Frank Moore’s health care plan & comparison chart!

Hi Betsy!

Here is that comparison chart I told you about, with Frank’s health care plan …

Let me know what you think!

Wow, Frank really does his homework.

My favorite part is this, under “Cost Containment”:

“Preventative medicine will cut costs. School meals should be part of the health system. Growing food in schools, and healthy meals in schools will cut medical costs and improve kids’ performance in school. This will also make schools more a part of their communities, increasing the overall health of the communities.”

Education, and integrating ecological values in school, are issues I really care about. He’s right on about making schools more a part of their communities.

My least favorite part is being taxed at 75% after $12k/year — or did I misunderstand that? Call me greedy, but I don’t want to be taxed at a rate above 40%. Of course, I make less than $12k/year, so it’s really my husband’s income I’m greedily protecting….

Thanks for forwarding the comparison. Frank’s plan is impressive, and I fervently hope it will come to pass in my lifetime.

Corey corrected Betsy on my tax policy which is:

I’ll do away with all tax deductions for over $12,000 income. Instead, there will be a flat tax of 10% on annual income of less than one million dollars for an individual and less than five million dollars for a corporation. But the flat tax will jump to 75% on annual income exceeding these limits.

so most people would pay at the ten percent rate, and the poor wouldn’t pay any income tax.

The campaign continues!

cutting shows

November 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments
Dear Friends,
I write to you this afternoon with a story that many of you may already be familiar with, yet I feel it important enough that those of you who are not already in the loop of the recent programming changes at KPFA, where for the past 14 years I have been one of 5 daily programmers producing a diverse and wide ranging 2 hour weekly “Music of the World” radio show, become aware of a recent and significant cut in Music programming at the station.

So, for your information, I bear the news that, for reasons not entirely clear to anybody but certainly dressed up as necessary changes due to an extreme financial crisis at KPFA (Pacifica Radio’s flagship station and the oldest Public Listener-Sponsored Radio Station in the world) management at KPFA took the drastic step of reducing Music of the World by 60% from being a Week-Daily 2 hour show from 10am-Noon, to a 1 hour show (11-Noon) on only 4 days. The beneficiary of this cut in Music at the station is a daily 1 hour show, Letters to Washington which, as the name suggests, concerns itself with the politics of the moment – not unlike many other Talk Radio programs that festoon the public airwaves in every direction.

Though this obviously effects me personally, as one of the programmers directly affected by this sudden change in direction at KPFA which, almost unannounced, brought about this sea change in their programming structure on November 2nd 2009, I am more concerned that it demonstrates a clear lack of commitment to the importance of keeping Music and The Arts as an essential ingredient in terrestrial radio. Without going into too much rationalization or analysis of this move, I am concerned that this particular change in the daily schedule at KPFA is the precursor to further cuts – I can’t see a single 1 hour Music broadcast Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri in a day that is otherwise completely dominated by wall to wall talk radio programming from pre-dawn (6am) until long after dark (8pm) being a priority in the minds of those who make the programming policy at KPFA.

So this email is by way of an announcement to you that this is happening at this time honored Listener-Sponsored institution, in case you haven’t noticed.

If this in any way raises questions for you or you have yourself an opinion about it that you would like to air then KPFA’s listener comment line is (510) 848 6767 ext. 3 or you can write to the station through their web site:

www.KPFA.org/contact

In the meantime I will endeavor to continue to cram as much positive energy as is humanly possibly into a one hour (actually 56 minutes) time slot on Thursdays in my own version of Music of the World

Thanks for Listening

Stay Tuned

ah, yes, Stephen! I know well how it feels to be “trimmed.” I just was trimmed on B-TV in favor of canned non- local old shows. What is happening is everything is being tied to the mainstream frame.
Subjects of talk radio are limited to that frame, whether it’s “progressive” or “right- wing.” things that aren’t limited by that frame aren’t valued. Things like People’s music, art, culture, philosophy, etc. aren’t seen as important expressions. So they are not covered under the marketing tool of “free speech radio!”

funny… As I’m writing this, I’m listening to your show on LUVER!

Fw: POW! POW! documentation (Paul Escriva II)

November 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Yes, it was that loud.

Paul

* * * * *

ah yes! Although I knew it was all working, that most people were getting deeper, there was a high denial factor which we had to deal with [especially after the performance from those two] which made it harder to actually feel the real depth. But it is obvious from the documentation… Which is why documentation is important.

Btw, one of the two wants to collaborate with me!

Thanks for the tally!

I never told you, and I never told the Libertarians, that I was a candidate for presidential elector pledged to two different presidential candidates. I was a Libertarian elector as well as one of your electors. That means I got more valid votes than any other Libertarian running for presidential elector. I just wanted to see if anyone in the Secretary of State’s office would notice. They didn’t.

you are a devil, Richard!

It was amazing how they made shit up but backed off when we did not go for it! The bottom line is they did not have a bottom line!

Fw: Fw: ABOUT TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT STAGE! (Jesse Beagle)

November 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Absolutely,

In days of performing (I’m not counting poetry now though it’s a great performance field, and like all performances, is whatever you make it with what you’ve got – for instance, best teachers in classical piano didn’t do me any harm (since fortunately they had GOOD TECHNIQUE) and some of my later great jazz pianist/friends as Ed Kelly who kept his life as important (his family, his church) as his performance and kept TEACHING AT LANEY. If these jazz musicians didn’t have some classical training, they sought study, but perhaps that was primmarily in piano. I don’t how much ‘study’ the great player at Woodstock – oh, Jimi Hendrix had, yah he had some study, like if now you wanted a bird in the picture, you go study a bird (not necessarily a note) – so people good in jazz some times later could go for ‘adding a little technique’ but it’s like love=making, FUCK THE TECHNIQUE!!!!

jESSE

PS – YOURS IS A RARE HISTORY IN FORMING BANDS, fRANK, WITH GOOD MUSICIANS WITH YOU. i REMEMBER ONE PERSON WHO SAID ‘YOU CAN’T BE A PIANIST BECAUSE IT’S NOT POSSIBLE’ (OR SUCH WORDS) AND THEN ONE IS STUCK WITH THE FACT BUT YOU ARE A PIANIST!!!!!!!!! WITH THE FACTORS SOME ‘JUST DON’T GOT IT’ – HHYTHM, IT’S IN THE beat man!!!!!!! it’s in the pause it’s in the
hesitation it’s knowing how to ‘get off the beat’ and how to just suggest and have surprises etc etc etc

jesse, pianist at large

* * * * *

yes, Jesse. What most people don’t get is almost everything in life is making love, playing. I am a professional lover and Player. So everything I have tried in life has come easy for me… Just playing. But a lot of people want to think my life must have been hard!
